who/what to trust in 2022?
it’s hard…
“A February 2020 research report published by the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin tested six browsers and deemed Brave to be the most private of them, in terms of phoning home: “In the first (most private) group lies Brave, in the second Chrome, Firefox and Safari, and in the third (least private) group lie Edge and Yandex.”[108] (src)
“From a privacy perspective Microsoft Edge and Yandex are qualitatively different from the other browsers studied.”
“Both send persistent identifiers that can be used to link requests (and associated IP address/location) to backend servers.”
“Edge also sends the hardware UUID of the device to Microsoft and Yandex similarly transmits a hashed hardware identifier to back end servers.”
“As far as we can tell this behaviour cannot be disabled by users.”
“In addition to the search autocomplete functionality that shares details of web pages visited, both transmit web page information to servers that appear unrelated to search autocomplete.”

“Vivaldi is a freeware, cross-platform web browser developed by Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by Opera Software co-founder and former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Tatsuki Tomita” <- if that is a good thing… probably not.
Given the Kremlin’s naming convention “Wagner” (the Russian mercenary group killing around the globe like Ukraine but also Africa).
Antonio Vivaldi would be (almost obviously) just another classic music composer in their naming scheme (correct if wrong!?).
“The browser was officially launched on April 12, 2016.[8][9] The browser is aimed at staunch technologists, heavy Internet users, and previous Opera web browser users disgruntled by Opera’s transition from the Presto layout engine to the Blink layout engine, which removed many popular features.[8][10] Vivaldi aims to revive the old, popular features of Opera 12.[11] The browser has gained popularity since the launch of its first technical preview.[12][13] The browser has 1 million users as of January 2017.[14]”
the bigger problem with Opera might be this: the Russian Yandex SDK:
- “A development kit for applications offered for free by Yandex, the Russian tech giant, collects information, which is then stored on Russian servers.”
- “The proximity between the company and the Kremlin raises questions about the end use of this data.”
- “Your personal data probably ends up on Russian servers.”
- “On Tuesday, March 29, the British daily Financial Times revealed that tens of thousands of applications have been developed using software that retrieves users’ information.”
- “The computer tool is provided by Yandex, a Russian search engine, Google’s main competitor in this country.”
- “The recovered data is then stored in servers in Russia and Finland.”
- “In the clutches of the Kremlin AppMetrica’s “open access” makes it one of the most used tools on the market: 36% of applications on Google Play go through this SDK and 11% on the App Store according to Appfigures.”
- “Among the services offered are video games, messaging apps and virtual private networks (VPNs), designed to browse the web without being tracked.”
- “7x VPN apps are offered specifically for the Ukrainian public, according to financial times.”
- “In total, it would be applications installed hundreds of millions of times that would be affected.”

Arora
it’s always a good idea to try out alternatives. 🙂 Welcome to Arora: (under Debian-Gnome3)
is a lightweight, cross-platform, free and open-source web browser
Arora is available for Linux, OS X, Windows, FreeBSD, OS/2, Haiku,[6] and any other operating system supported by the Qt toolkit. Arora’s name is a palindrome.
The browser’s features include tabbed browsing, bookmarks, browsing history, smart location bar, OpenSearch, session management, privacy mode, a download manager, WebInspector, and AdBlock.[7]
For several months, Meyer discontinued development of Arora due to uncertainty about the strictures of non-compete clauses by his employer; finally in July 2011, he announced that he would no longer contribute to the project.[8] Another software developer, Bastien Pederencino forked Arora’s source code, and published a variant called zBrowser – renamed Zeromus Browser in February 2013. In May 2013, Pederencino published another variant called BlueLightCat. In February 2014, some new patches were released on Arora’s github project page, with some Linux distributions incorporating the changes in their individual versions of Arora packages in their repositories.[9]
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arora_(web_browser)
install
under Debian it’s easy as the usual:
<span style="color: #00ffff;">apt-get update</span>; # update apt package definitions
<span style="color: #00ffff;">apt-get install arora</span>; # install arora browser
Nice features:
- fast, sleak, efficient, webkit without Google influenced Firefox (they get millions for making Google the default search engine…)
- JavaScript and Images can be easily disabled
- AdBlock INCLUDED 🙂
- Nice Page-loading %percentage% view
- Excellent https://startpage.com/ / https://ixquick.com/ integration 🙂
- You can use all the Firefox-Hotkeys like Alt+D to select the Adress-Bar
I really love that loading %percentage display, that also shows you how big and bulky a website is: (maybe disable grafics or js) 
Nicely: Easy to disable image loading (speed up things) and javascript (security problem)
It has Adblock INCLUDED! 🙂 No extension needed! GOOD JOB!
Midori
Midori is a cross-platform GTK browser based on Webkit. It tracks the latest Webkit very closely, so you always have a fresh version. Midori is very lightweight and fast, but still has a lot of features. Midori is amazingly quick and can be useful for sites like Facebook which tend to slow down Firefox. Users concerned about privacy will be interested to know that Midori features Duck Duck Go as the default search engine, offers built-in ad blocking and good cookie control. An old version (0.4.3) is currently included with Ubuntu 13.10, so it is recommended that you install from the Midori PPA.
SETUP:
tested on debian:
<span style="color: #00ffff;">apt-get update; apt-get install midori</span>; # let's test this ;)
QupZilla
QupZilla is a fast Qt and Webkit based browser that is available for multiple operating systems. It features a reasonably simple interface that will seem familiar to new users. The browser is packed with options, but really offers nothing new or unique when compared to Firefox or Chromium. The QupZilla team has put together a really solid browser, but without offering something unique, I find myself asking “what’s the point?” [Install Now](apt://qupzilla)
IceCat
GNU IceCat, formerly known as GNU IceWeasel,[3] is a free software rebranding of the Mozilla Firefox web browser distributed by the GNU Project. It is compatible with Linux, Windows, Android and macOS.[4]
IceCat is released as a part of GNUzilla, GNU’s rebranding of a code base that used to be the Mozilla Application Suite. As an internet suite, GNUzilla also includes a mail & newsgroup program and an HTML composer.
Mozilla produces free and open-source software, but the binaries include trademarked artwork. The GNU Project attempts to keep IceCat in synchronization with upstream development of Firefox (long-term support versions) while removing all trademarked artwork and non-free add-ons. It also maintains a large list of free software plugins. In addition, it features a few security features not found in the mainline Firefox browser.

it’s nice that Arora and QupZilla (the naming is terrible 2 remember :-D) allow importing Firefox/Iceweasel exported bookmarks.html.
QupZilla even gets all the website Icons for you….
Web (Epiphany)
Web (formerly Epiphany) is the official web browser of the GNOME desktop. It is a very easy to use Webkit based browser with a simplistic user interface. In fact, Web is like the granddaddy of simple web browsers, delivering a simple user interface years before Chrome came on the scene. The browser is very speedy and polished, offering more features with each release. Web makes a great simple alternative to Firefox and Chrome. [Install Now](apt://epiphany-browser)
Bash / Command Line Browsers 🙂
Elinks
Elinks is a text based browser similar to the classic Lynx browser. It launches inside a Terminal window and presents you with only the text of websites, no images, javascript, or Flash. This can be rather useful for website developers to test their sites, or for reading information on sites that are full of annoying javascript and Flash ads.

QupZilla 1.6.6 on Debian-Gnome3
install
debian linux
apt-get update; # you know what this does
apt-get install qupzilla; # install qupzilla

Import Bookmarks.html
it’s nice that Arora and QupZilla (the naming is terrible 2 remember :-D) allow importing Firefox/Iceweasel exported bookmarks.html.
QupZilla even gets all the website Icons for you….
Web (Epiphany)
Web (formerly Epiphany) is the official web browser of the GNOME desktop. It is a very easy to use Webkit based browser with a simplistic user interface. In fact, Web is like the granddaddy of simple web browsers, delivering a simple user interface years before Chrome came on the scene. The browser is very speedy and polished, offering more features with each release. Web makes a great simple alternative to Firefox and Chrome. [Install Now](apt://epiphany-browser)
Bash / Command Line Browsers 🙂
Elinks
Elinks is a text based browser similar to the classic Lynx browser. It launches inside a Terminal window and presents you with only the text of websites, no images, javascript, or Flash. This can be rather useful for website developers to test their sites, or for reading information on sites that are full of annoying javascript and Flash ads.
that’s what http://google.de looks like in elinks:

Schon wieder eine #Stellenausschreibung
Webentwickler:in mit Schwerpunkt Frontend in Voll- oder Teilzeit für taz.de ab sofort gesucht
Die #taz war die erste online lesbare #Tageszeitung Deutschlands. Sie bietet nach wie vor alltäglich die Möglichkeit Dinge anders zu machen und ist immer noch #Konzern-unabhängig.
Willst Du mit uns die zunehmend digitale #Zukunft des #Journalismus gestalten? Wir bieten ein kooperatives #Umfeld, das Raum für #Weiterentwicklung und #Kreativität lässt, aber auch strategisches #Denken erfordert und die Bereitschaft, alltägliche Probleme auch eigenverantwortlich zu lösen.
Wir suchen zeitnah ein:e Kolleg:in mit praktischer Berufserfahrung in der Webentwicklung, gerne auch als Quereinsteiger:in. Wichtig ist uns, dass Du nicht nur teamfähig bist, sondern bevorzugt gemeinsam arbeitest, auch mit technischen Laien.
Im #Frontend-Bereich von taz.de stehen viele Veränderungen an. Derzeit gestalten und bauen wir unseren Verlagsbereich neu. Als nächstes plant die #taz, den redaktionellen Bereich zu relaunchen. Dabei werden wir vieles überdenken und verändern. Neben der Pflege und der Weiterentwicklung von taz.de erwartet dich ein bunter Strauß an Themen: #Datenschutz, #Tracking, #Ads, #SEO, strukturierte #Daten, #Feeds, #Barrierefreiheit und vieles mehr.
Anforderungen:
- Grundlegende Kenntnisse der für Web-Applikationen nötigen Standards ( #HTML5 , #DOM , #XML , #XSLT , #CSS3 , #JS , #JSON , #HTTP , #REST)
- Sicherer Umgang mit #ES6 , #jQuery und #CSS-Präprozessoren und -frameworks sind wünschenswert
- Du kannst auch ohne #Frameworks responsive #Seiten erstellen, die #crossbrowser funktionieren - eine gewisse Lust auf Urschleim ist nicht verkehrt
- Wir setzen auf Serversite #Rendering und #XML als Datengrundlage, die sich aus verschiedenen #CMS speist. Bislang setzen wir auf #xslt. Das wollen wir durch serverside javascript ablösen.
- Prima wären Erfahrungen mit #nodejs
- Interesse an #UX und #UI
- Einarbeitung und Weiterentwicklung von #Fremdcode
- Sicherer Umgang mit #Versionierungssystemen
- Erfahrungen im Nachrichten- und Verlagsumfeld wären von Vorteil
- Sehr gute #Selbstorganisation
Wenn Du Lust darauf hast, in einem nach wie vor politisch motivierten Umfeld als Teil des Web-Entwickler:innen-Teams auch abteilungsübergreifend mit vielfältig interessanten Menschen, mit Produktentwicklung, EDV, Redaktion und Verlag zusammenzuarbeiten, melde Dich.
Bei der taz bieten wir nicht nur ein kollegiales Arbeitsumfeld, sondern auch familienfreundliche #Arbeitszeiten (flexible #Vollzeit 36,5h/Woche, remote-Arbeit aktuell bis auf Weiteres aufgrund von #Corona erwünscht, auch danach ist prinzipiell #Home-Office möglich, 30 Tage #Urlaub) – es gibt ein ordentliches (und subventioniertes) #Mittagessen im taz-Café.
Wir wollen diverser werden. Deshalb freuen wir uns besonders über Bewerbungen von People of Color und Menschen mit Behinderung. Deine Perspektiven sind uns wichtig und sollen in der taz vertreten sein. Die Arbeitsplätze und Toiletten sind weitestgehend #barrierefrei. Das taz-Café ist mit dem #Rollstuhl erreichbar.
Schicke uns deine #Bewerbung und zeige uns, welche Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen Du gerne bei der taz entfalten würdest.
Es handelt sich um eine volle unbefristete Stelle ab taz-Lohngruppe V. Auch Teilzeit wäre denkbar, wenn Vollzeit für dich nicht möglich ist. Arbeitsaufnahme zum nächst möglichen Zeitpunkt. Schreibe uns gerne, ab wann Du einsteigen könntest und richte Deine Bewerbung an webjob@taz.de.
Wir freuen uns auch über Weiterleitung, ihr findet die Stellenausschreibung auch unter https://taz.de/jobs
